What is an Asian blepharoplasty?

An Asian blepharoplasty in Tunisia (aka double eyelid surgery) is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to create a natural-looking static crease in the upper eyelid. People of Asian descent with a single eyelid usually have Asian blepharoplasty to achieve an upper eyelid crease.

ANATOMY OF THE EYE

The epicanthal fold located at the medial epicanthus of the upper eyelids, which is observed in people of Asian origin, is an important feature of Asian eyelids. In addition, Asian eyelids are referred to as monolithic or single eyelids due to the absence of the type of eyelid fold most commonly seen in Caucasian eyelids.
There are two different Asian blepharoplasty techniques to achieve the desired appearance of the upper eyelids:

• Suture method (also known as suture ligation): Sutures are used to tie the skin in the desired upper eyelid position to create an upper eyelid crease.
• Open incision approach: Part of the eyelid skin and excess fat are removed. The underlying upper eyelid muscle is also modified.

The results of upper eyelid plastic surgery are permanent, and will be noticeable immediately after double eyelid surgery. Bruising, swelling and pain of the upper eyelids will persist for up to ten days. Most patients are comfortable appearing in public two weeks after the operation, but will need to limit strenuous activities for four to six weeks.

What cosmetic problems are treated by Asian blepharoplasty?

1. Sagging and hooded eyelids: An Asian blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgical procedure designed to create a natural crease in the upper eyelid by modifying and reducing the tissues of the upper eyelid, including the skin and eyelid muscles (such as the levator aponeurosis or orbicularis muscle). The epicanthal fold at the level of the medical epicanthus will also be treated during an Asian blepharoplasty.

Who is the ideal candidate for Asian blepharoplasty?

The ideal candidate for Asian blepharoplasty is looking to achieve a permanent, natural-looking upper eyelid crease. This double eyelid surgery is most commonly performed on people of Asian descent. Asian blepharoplasty is not recommended for patients with significant forehead ptosis, bulging or dominant eyes, chronic dry eye or certain medical conditions.

What is the average recovery time associated with Asian blepharoplasty?

The acute healing phase of an Asian blepharoplasty lasts approximately seven to ten days. Swelling, bruising and pain usually last a week and can be alleviated with cold compresses and over-the-counter painkillers. The non-absorbable sutures will be removed from the upper eyelids after one week. Strenuous physical activity and exposure to the sun should be limited for four to six weeks.

What are the potential side effects of Asian blepharoplasty?

Potential side effects of Asian blepharoplasty include difficulty closing the upper eyelids at the eyelid margin during sleep, blurred vision, swelling and bruising, scarring, bleeding and changes in sensation.

What can I expect from the results of an Asian blepharoplasty?

The results of an Asian blepharoplasty are immediately noticeable permanent improvements to the upper eyelid with the formation of a natural eyelid crease. The results will be subject to natural ageing over time.
